The New Orleans Saints completed their trade for cornerback Bradley Roby, sending a 2022 third-round draft pick and a 2023 conditional sixth-round pick to the Houston Texans on Thursday.
In order to facilitate a trade to the Saints, the Texans converted $7.6 million of Roby's base salary into a signing bonus, a source told ESPN's Field Yates. When Roby officially gets traded to New Orleans, his base salary for 2021 is now $1,862,645, which fits into the Saints' salary-cap space.
Roby was a first-round draft pick of the Denver Broncos in 2014.
